Asli Kalayci
My research focuses on the design, implementation, and usability of digital health interventions that support marginalized populations. I take a user-centered approach to understand how digital interventions are adopted and integrated into real-world settings. As a research assistant on the NIH-funded PARCA project, I have conducted fieldwork with justice-involved individuals and probation officers, examining how digital interventions support community reintegration. I have also contributed to a UMass Chan Medical School collaboration on a text-messaging intervention for perinatal individuals with mild to moderate depression. I also teach a pre-college summer program at WPI on AI and its Business Applications.
